According to the Christian tradition, Jesus Christ was resurrected on the third day after his crucifixion and burial, known today as Easter or Resurrection Sunday. This date is widely celebrated throughout Christianity. On Easter, it is a common practice among Christians to greet each other by saying: “He is alive!”

The idiom "older than dirt" is a variation on the phrase "older than the hills." This phrase has its origins in the Bible, in allusion to Job 15:7 'Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?'. Commonly used to mean exceedingly or immeasurably old, the first cited instance of the phrase was in 1819.

Founder Russ Berrie started his business with $500, he rented a garage in Palisades Park, New Jersey, and launched his own firm named after himself. Berrie intended to design, market, and distribute “impulse” gift items. From the start, Russ Berrie & Company produced a string of hit products that quickly found their way onto countertops, desks, and dashboards across the country. Among the company’s earliest creations: Fuzzy Wuzzies (tiny fur ball-like critters bearing messages like “You’re My Best Friend” or “Wild Thing”), troll dolls (squat gnomes with plumes of brightly colored hair) and the Bupkis Family (a motley collection of endearingly ugly rubber figurines). The owner believed in the power of “transformational giving,” partnering with energetic, visionary leaders to change the world for the better. He took an entrepreneurial approach to philanthropy, using his keen interpersonal skills to identify people and causes in which to invest and working closely with partners to hone strategies and set expectations.  “There is nothing more important in life than helping a fellow human being.”  — Russell Berrie (1933-2002).

Black and white portrait of Charlie Chaplin in a prisoners uniform under white text on a blue background. 

This picture on this button is the iconic image from Charlie Chaplin's 1917 film The Adventurer, in which he played an escaped convict on the run from prison guards. In the film, He saved a young woman from drowning and fell into favor of her family, but also solicited jealousy and persecution from her suitor. He continued the prisoner character in his 1923 film The Pilgrim. 

Many of Chaplin's films often evoke sympathy for the people living in the bottom of society. The slogan on the button "Nobody's Perfect" invokes the idea of forgiveness and compassion that Chaplin promoted in his works.

A color photograph of Joe Biden with long hair on a blue background. 

Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr. is the 47th Vice President of the United States, jointly elected with President Barack Obama. He is a member of the Democratic Party and was a United States Senator from Delaware from January 3, 1973, until his resignation on January 15, 2009, following his election to the Vice Presidency. When Obama announced his running mate, Biden's hair gained national attention. Biden infamously underwent hair “plug” surgery and was seen during the early stages of it on national television during the Anita Hill senate hearings. He has been scrutinized about his hair now that he is back in the spotlight.

A color photograph of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. addressing a crowd with blue text in the sky, white text in the trees, and yellow text on his jacket. 

In 1961, Rev. Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. stated, "In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as 'right to work.' It is a law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights. It is supported by Southern segregationists who are trying to keep us from achieving our civil rights and our right of equal job opportunity. Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining by which unions have improved wages and working conditions of everyone. Wherever these laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer and there are no civil rights. We do not intend to let them do this to us. We demand this fraud be stopped. Our weapon is our vote." 

King had a long relationship with unions. On 3 April 1968, the night before his assassination, he spoke in support of the 1,300 Memphis, Tennessee sanitation workers on strike.  

In 1963, the Teamsters Local 743 participated in the March on Washington, supporting what became the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This button commemorates the Teamsters Local 743's Martin Luther King Day celebration in 2009.

Photograph of George Bush picking his nose encircled by white text over red and blue background. 

This button is an anti-George W. Bush button used to attack the 43rd U.S. President. The ungraceful image of Bush picking nose was from footage of him watching a baseball game, possibly in 2002. Bush's popularity dropped after U.S. and allied troops in the Iraq War faced growing insurgency led by sectarian groups in 2003. It is possible that the button was created by his political opponent during the 2004 election. 

A photograph of Susan Boyle in front of a stone bridge with a yellow and a blue border and around the outside of the photograph is white text on a gray background.

Susan Magdalane Boyle, born 1 April 1961, is a Scottish singer who came to international attention when she appeared as a contestant on the TV show Britain's Got Talent in 2009, singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables. Her first album was released in November 2009 and debuted as the number one best-selling album on charts around the globe. Boyle's initial appearance on the talent show fired public imagination when her modest stage introduction and thick speaking accent left the audience, viewers and judges alike unprepared for the power and expression of her mezzo-soprano voice. Before she had finished the song's opening phrase a standing ovation for Boyle had erupted.
